Aha, you could very well be right. The OS X version runs atop Quartz
analogously to the way the Linux version runs atop X11. But if I
understand correctly, the Linux version has a built in window
manager while the OS X version is relying on the Quartz window
manager. So it's probably just a shim to assure that Ruby and Python
programs are portable.
